section “Convertible top” on page 7-77.
When leaving the vehicle unattended, be sure to close the
top and remove the ignition key.
To avoid damage, do not sit or place luggage or any heavy
objects on the top itself, or the area around it.
Make sure nothing is in the top storage area (top and
behind the rear seats) when raising or lowering the top.
Even a small article may interfere with the operation of
the top and may damage the top or cause it to malfunction.
Always be sure the top is completely dry before it is low-
ered. Lowering the top while wet or damp may cause inte-
rior water damage, water stains or mildew of the top. It
can also cause the top to deteriorate and shrink.

or below. The fabric of the top may be damaged. If neces-
sary, allow the vehicle to set for a while in a heated garage
prior to operating the convertible top mechanism.

NOT be used on the ECLIPSE SPYDER’s top. This
includes, but is not limited to ski, bicycle or luggage
racks. Damage to the top may result.
Before opening or closing the top, make sure there are no
obstructions above the vehicle. For opening and closing of
the top, there must be upward clearance of approximately
6.6 feet (2 m) as measured from the ground.

Wind deflector
(if so equipped)
N00505800024
The wind deflector reduces turbulent airflow inside the vehicle
for greater comfort when driving with the electric convertible
top open.NOTEThe optional wind deflector is stored in a bag in the trunk.
To prevent damage it should always be kept in this bag
when not installed. Do not place heavy objects (e.g. crates
or heavy shopping bags) on top of the wind deflector.
Installing the wind deflector1. Open half of the bottom frame (A) and half of the top
frame (B) of the wind deflector as shown by the arrows.
WA R N I N G
!The two rear seats must not be occupied when the
wind deflector is installed.Never place any object on the wind deflector. An
object on the wind deflector could cause damage to
the deflector and/or the vehicle. It could be blown
off when the vehicle is in motion.Adjust the front passenger’s seat so that the seat
does not come in contact with the wind deflector to
ensure that the front passenger’s seat weight sensor
can correctly sense the weight being applied to the
seat.
CAUTION
!When you adjust the front seats when the wind
deflector is installed, be careful not to push the
backrests into the wind deflector when reclining the
seats or when moving them back.

Spare tire information
N00849600285
Compact spare tireThe compact spare tire is designed to save space in the cargo
area (trunk). Its lighter weight makes it easier to use if a flat tire
occurs.
WA R N I N G
!Tires, including spare tire, degrade over time with
age even when they are not being used.
It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if damage is not obvious.
CAUTION
!While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation
pressure should be checked at least once a month to
assure that it remains at the recommended inflation
pressure. See the tire and loading information plac-
ard attached to the driver’s door sill.
Refer to “Tire and loading information placard” on
page 9-4.Driving with an improperly inflated tire can cause
an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with
an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and
avoid sudden steering or braking, if possible. Inflate
the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible.
Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-23.The compact spare tire should only be used tempo-
rarily. When the compact spare tire is used, the tire
pressure monitoring system will not work properly.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon
as possible to replace or repair the original tire.If your vehicle has aluminum type wheels, you can
use the same wheel nuts on the compact spare tire
wheel. Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driving with
the compact spare tire.Avoid fast starting and braking when driving with
the compact spare tire. Do not drive through automatic car washes and over
obstacles that could possibly damage the underside
of your vehicle. Because the compact spare tire is
smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance
between the ground and your vehicle.

2. To remove the spare tire, remove the installation clamp
(A) by turning it counterclockwise.NOTEThe clamp cannot be used for a normal tire. Store the nor-
mal tire in the cargo area (trunk).
Because the compact spare tire is designed only for
your vehicle, do not use it on any other vehicle. Do not put the compact spare tire on a different
wheel, and do not put standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings on the compact spare
wheel. Damage may result.Do not use snow chain with your compact spare tire.
